The analysis by GC-MS, of the essential oil of the fruits from this species permitted the identification of nine chemical constituents, representing 86.99 % and having as majorities: trans β-ocimene (33.90 %), linalool (23.27 %) and undecanone (16.19 %). The essential oil was submitted to analysis for the verification of the antibacterial activity, by the method of diffusion in paper discs in M...
